Motherboard suggestions

[cluelessnoob]

Budget (including currency): 500$ for mb

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: vr and gaming 

I wanted to build a top tier gaming PC so I just started buying stuff lol I have a 5800x3d, a noctua nh-d15 to cool it, a Corsair  hx1000psu, a 2tb Samsung 980nvme ssd, and a fractal torrent case I'm planning on getting a 7900xtx for a GPU basically what would the absolute best motherboard I can get be? I was looking at a dark hero but is that silly since I won't be overclocking? I also failed to mention I already bought a tuf gaming x570 plus mb but I might just donate it to the PC I have to build my wife, or is that what I should use? Please help all I know is apparently I have expensive taste and very little idea what I'm doing (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

If you already have the cpu, then I'd probably get the b550 taichi and call it a day. If you don't have it already, then I'd reccommend to get a 13600k and a nice board like the msi psi z690-a

Mobo dont do shit for performance so all you wanna focus on is the i/o that the board offers

 

You should be fine with a board like the b550 aorus pro (v2/ac), if you need >2 usbc or thunderbolt look at the asus proart boards. Most boards should do 5000 ddr4 with ease so if you wanna ram overclock then you wont be mobo limited unless you happen to be an oc nut with high binned hynix djrs

Would the Asus tuf x570 plus be a good option? Because that's what I bought, wondering if that was a good decision

Have not built it yet

Bleh mobo for the price, b550 aorus pro ac offers more i/o so its superior to the x570 plus

 

Also x570 is just useless unless you use chipset gen4 lanes but gen4 is itself useless for most ppl that dont do r/w intensive stuff like high res vid editing

 

So if you get x570 and dont use its features you are just getting x570 because better chipset somehow = better mobo. I think that only applies to some boards like asus proart where the x570 does offer better i/o but otherwise no real diff on most other boards aside from the chipset

 

Also if you ever wanna oc your 5800x3d via bclk you cant on x570 cause bclk is broken on x570, at that point you just paid extra for an inferior board. Also ive looked around for reports of corrupted nvmes due to bclk and i see no reports whatsoever so ill just denouce the drive corruption because of bclk as baseless bullshit some idiot spread problably a decade or 2 ago, same for things "dying" due to bclk so bclk is safe if you wanna have a go at it
